Olá, pessoal! Hello, all!

How are you feeling today? Are you in a good mood or in a bad mood today? And does the position of the planets has anything to do with that?

Maybe that is not true about your country, but lately everything has been all about star signs here in Brazil. Whether people believe in astrology or not, the idea that our signs can determine important characteristics of our personalities and even work as predictions about our future draws a lot of curiosity, besides being a major conversation topics at bars. If you interact with Brazilians a lot, you have likely been asked about your sign before, right?

Since many people enjoy talking about it so much, today’s post will teach you ways to talk about signs in Portuguese. So trust the stars and let’s dive in!
